an example of a typically doctored up, cutesy picture that floods inboxes in a deluge of itself. If you get one copy of it, you're likely to get 10 more copies within the next month, because everybody who sends chain mail thinks it's so cute, so special, so humorous, and that they're the only ones to pass this thing on.
NOT!

It's supposedly this picture of crocodiles with tears in their eyes, crying over Steve Irwin's passing.

Reality check!:

The crocodiles don't know or care who Steve Irwin was, to them, he was just a potential meal! That's right, these wild animals he was so bent on "saving" would just as soon eat him as look at him, and tear him to shreds instead of getting teary-eyed over him.

It is sad that he passed on, but the only things crying over him are humans, and IMO, the most tragic things about this is the family he left behind and his age. But considering the life he lead, is it really all that surprising? On the one hand, he probably would've rather had his life snuffed out by some animal he was filming and trying to "save" instead of living longer and dying of some other debilitating condition later in life. On the other hand, he might've lived longer if he'd chosen a cause that was more worth while and not based on the idea that animals are endangered with the fault always being that of humans! I've seen enough conservationalist/environmentalist/animal rights/welfarist dreck to realize that's the root of their belief system and unfortunately, Steve bought into it to at least some degree.

I didn't get the forward, yet, thank goodness, but heard that one of my friends got it and passed it on to my mom. This friend has been told by me in the past that chain mail is junk, and still, she sends on forwards! She's too busy to actually write very many letters, but not too busy to pass on chain mail - ANNOYING!

I wish people would realize that if they're too busy or tired to send real email, than they're too busy and tired to send chain mail and certainly others are too busy and tired of getting it!
